| book description |

Abby Sewell is a brilliant inventor with the world at her fingertips. When her dad passes away, she wants nothing more than to speak with him again. She finds a way to cheat death... but death always cheats those who don't play by the rules. Marshall de Vorr, historian extraordinaire, uses ground-breaking technology to unlock the secrets of his ancestor. Sometimes the past is best left in the dust. Alan Dewkes-Hall has become disenchanted with life and just wants the tedium to pass him by. He finds a watch that has the power to do exactly that... but play with time and pay the price. Ed Miller walks on eggshells every day of his life. He wants to know the dangers of his future, and a new discovery in his house helps with the tough decisions of what has, could and will happen. A loyal company man wants his free virtual vacation to last forever. The system gives him everything he needs for the holiday of a lifetime, so why should it end? In a world of emergent technologies be careful what you wish for. These five Sci-Fi short stories explore human desire, hope, revenge and weakness and ask how the simplest, often innocent intentions can spiral into life changing consequences.
